Ep. 287 Urothelial Carcinoma: Understanding CTDNA and Precision Medicine with Dr. Amanda Nizam and Dr. Brad McGregor

We can all agree ertifitinib is pretty rough, and it's not a very popular choice for our patients unless they actually have this mutation and they have nothing else clinical trial-wise.

But as you mentioned, the Forager trial, this is a Loxolili trial, really good data on the safety and efficacy, even post-ertifitinib so far, right?

Yeah.

What do you guys think about moving this into the front line with EV Pembroke?

Like, is this then a cruel?

They're doing a worldwide study called Forager 2.

And I think as an academic oncologist, I would enroll patients in this study.

Why?

BackTable Urology
Ep. 287 Urothelial Carcinoma: Understanding CTDNA and Precision Medicine with Dr. Amanda Nizam and Dr. Brad McGregor

Because I know that these are the ones that are going to be refractory to chemo and to EV Pembroke, right?

BackTable Urology
Ep. 287 Urothelial Carcinoma: Understanding CTDNA and Precision Medicine with Dr. Amanda Nizam and Dr. Brad McGregor

I have too many examples where these patients are refractory.

So I'd rather...

get them on a well-tolerated FGFR inhibitor in that triplet setting.

But I think many people and many of our colleagues in community colleges are like, why do we need to do better than EV-Pembroke?

BackTable Urology
Ep. 287 Urothelial Carcinoma: Understanding CTDNA and Precision Medicine with Dr. Amanda Nizam and Dr. Brad McGregor

EV-Pembroke is so good, right?

Ep. 287 Urothelial Carcinoma: Understanding CTDNA and Precision Medicine with Dr. Amanda Nizam and Dr. Brad McGregor

It's true, but there is a subset that is really tough.

Ep. 287 Urothelial Carcinoma: Understanding CTDNA and Precision Medicine with Dr. Amanda Nizam and Dr. Brad McGregor

Yeah, really exciting times, guys.
